Saxophone

The body of keys,the curve of gold
shimmer of glory, smiling for pride,
melodious wail singing
through the room in Debussy's Fantasia.

Alice is having tea with the Mad Hatter,
the White Hare is hopping in a hurry,
the Queen of Hearts screaming furiously,
all in a world of Fantasia.

The pace quickens,the notes click
like the hooves of a horse.
Galloping, soaring to the highest note,
Free, in the universe of Fantasia.

Opal-coloured,egg shaped keys,
Neck perching like a bird,
The reed gives it life
So that it can fly, to a world of Fantasia.
